Byers beware! The so-called Entune Audio doesn't have neither CD(!!!), nor HD radio. I had all of those features plus a moonroof on my 2016 XSE for $65/month less (leased), and assumed them as basic features in any current car, especially next generation2018 XSE I've leased again. Big mistake! Unscrupulous salespeople never pointed to the lack of those features.

I have to say that I love my 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid. But, the telematic / Entune thing does not work and Toyota will not fix it. The Navigation will stop working if yo actual use it. The Front Driver's seat keeps going bad too. It was never comfortable but every 10K miles or so the bottom seat cushion seem to fail and I am sitting on a steal bump that is poorly located for men.

2018 camry great car with mediocre transmission

2018 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

Update 3 years later, March 2021, I just got rid of the car and bought a Mazda, I just could not wait to get rid this Camry, the engine started to hesitate, due to a faulty fuel pump, Toyota sent a letter recognizing the problem but has no fix for it yet, the 8 speed transmission with the engine lag drove me nuts for the 3 years I owned the car, I hated that car every day until I got rid of it. Toyota truly dropped the ball on this one, I would stay away from Toyota at this time since they are using this transmission in all their new line up. I just purchased a 2018 camry LE with the 4 cylinder, the car looks gorgeous, the suspension is very comfortable and interior is high quality material. So here are my personal pros and cons about this camry : Pros: the car is beautiful, high end interior design, high quality materials, I love the big screen with the back up camera, love the standard LEd headlights with the automatic high beams nd most of all I like the gas mileage with out losing the power. Cons: The leg room has shrank in this camry, I truly believe that back seat leg room is the same as the corolla, I think Toyota lost the room by making the trunk humongous. The seats are also very stiff, so if you are going to take a long trip, you better take a couple of ibuprofen because your back will be sore, and finally the thing that I hate about this car is the 8 speed transmission, it struggles to find the right gear, IT SLAMS into gear when you put it in Drive, as i start driving, I can feel every gear shifting because the car shakes every time the gears shift or downshift for that matter, and when it downshifts to the last gear at a complete stop, it feels like the car is about the stall. So Toyota, I give an F on this transmission, the engineers didn’t make it in a way that the gears shift smoothly, I mean I understand the whole concept of 8 speed to save on gas at a low RPM, but come on ! I don’t want to feel every gear shifting up or down, it’s a very uncomfortable feeling. And the response is also mediocre, let’s say I need to hit the gas and go fast, there is always a LAG, you have to wait for the transmission to make its mind which gear it’s gonna choose and when it does it pins you to the seat going to 5000 rpms, I hate it ! Update: after owning this car for 2 years, I would NOT recommend it for any body, this car just is boring and engine hesitate at times and get louder after time, for that price you can get a much better car like the Honda Accord or the Mazda 6 or the Nissan Altima.

HORRIBLE SCOUT GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM

2018 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

The Scout GPS system is abominable!!! Did the team that installed this system even test it out? They could not have! I have been lost at least a half dozen times in the three weeks I have owned this car. It just cuts out anywhere and everywhere. Antennae is probably defective and since it runs on cell phone, the signal is sometimes cut off. PLUS it uses my Iphone 8 battery at an alarming rate with the entune, remote and Scout apps. I HATE IT!! Had I known this was the Navigation I would not have bought the car., I have owned four other Camry XLE and LOVED the navi system. Now I am angry and frustrated. PLEASE change this back to Integrated system in 2019 and allow 2018 to also go back to integrated system.

Love The Style, Ditch the Tech

2018 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

I was so excited when my wife finally said yes that I can get a new car, I wanted to have the Lexus IS350 but it's a bit pricey, so, I ended up financing this 2018 Camry SE, loved it the moment I saw it although I was skeptical about the interior color (ash gray) unfortunately, the dealership didn't have any other color, ( I wanted to have black). After having it for few weeks I started hearing a popping sound in my roof especially when driving in rough roads and I had to deal with the dealership for few months until they figure it out what's causing the issue, sounds disappeared for a while after service and came back after few weeks, had another service schedule on May 19. Technology on this car is a joke, why can't you have the SCOUT GPS work thru Bluetooth? instead you have to connect your USB and oftentimes interfere with other apps. Acceleration is sometimes jerky, when at full stop, press gas pedal gently otherwise you'll have a jumpy shift change.
